EarthQuaker Devices Hoof Reaper
EarthQuaker Devices · pedal
The EarthQuaker Devices Hoof Reaper is a dual-fuzz pedal from EQD combining two separate fuzz circuits in a single enclosure: the Hoof, a hybrid germanium/silicon muff-style fuzz, and the Reaperlike, a Tone Bender-style fuzz. Both circuits can run independently or in series in either order, and each has full controls including separate Fuzz, Tone, and Volume knobs. The result is a single pedal that delivers two distinct fuzz personalities with the ability to stack them for extreme layered saturation. The Hoof Reaper is among the most complex and complete fuzz offerings in the EQD lineup, suited to players who want maximum fuzz flexibility without multiple stompboxes.
